As a result of the IA, the signatory agencies formed a working group to coordinate each agency’s implementation of the IA (Working Group). Among its tasks, the Working Group committed to the periodic evaluation of the effectiveness of the IA. On behalf of the Working Group, FERC is leading the effort to initiate this assessment. To achieve the maximum benefit, including evaluation of the Commission’s Pre-Filing Process, a series of telephone conferences and interactive public workshops are planned. The participants will include individuals who have participated in the Commission’s National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process since the enactment of the IA, and will cover both pipeline and liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects in various regions of the United States. These include individuals from Federal, state and local agencies, regulated natural industry, Native American tribes, affected property owners, citizens, non-government organizations and other stakeholders. Since many of the signatory federal agencies have prepared internal guidelines to more effectively implement the IA, the assessment will also collect feedback on each agency’s implementation, to determine whether they are effective or need revision to improve the review of future natural gas projects.
